United States Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, announces that the company will relocate its corporate headquarters to the former Civic Arena site in Pittsburgh’s lower Hill District. This announcement assures that the company will help anchor new development in the region while sustaining more than 800 jobs in Pittsburgh at the headquarters location. To be completed in 2017, the new 250,000 ft2 headquarters will promote collaboration and best practices for U.S. Steel employees in the advanced work environment. Additionally, by housing employees from a number of locations under one roof, the new headquarters location will provide significant cost savings for the company.
Adjacent to CONSOL Energy Center, the building will be owned and operated by a joint venture between Clayco and Pittsburgh Arena Real Estate Redevelopment LP, an affiliate of the Penguins.
As part of U. S. Steel’s and the Penguins’ commitment to environmental stewardship the building will be constructed with sustainable building practices for U. S. Green Building Council LEED version 3 certification. Sustainability practices will include using U. S. Steel products where appropriate. Steel supports sustainable building practices by reducing the carbon footprint of building materials through its inherent recyclability – as steel is the most recycled material globally, exceeding other metals, paper and glass, combined.
